I'm sorry...is Auburn's biggest cheer not "War Eagle" even though they're TIGERS.

What about Georgia Tech - whose fight song references the "Rambin Wreck" - even though they're Yellow Jackets.

Eagles are who we are just as much as MG.

Dont think so...Ask the losers on campus who would say the albino squirrel is just as much part of MG.

Auburn is not referred to as the War Eagles.

Eagles is just as much a part...what do you think the road that borders campus is? Eagle Drive. What about North Texas email? Eaglemail. I could go on and on. There are a ton of references to EAGLES all around NT. Not even close.

Auburn may not be "known" as War Eagles. But what is their chant? Ever hear their fight song?

War Eagle, fly down the field

Ever to conquer, never to yield

War Eagle, fearless and true,

Fight on you orange and blue

Go! Go! Go!

On to vict'ry, strike up the band

Give 'em hell, Give 'em hell,

Stand up and yell, Hey!

War Eagle, win for Auburn,

Power of Dixie Land!

What is their on the field mascot? Hell they're about 50/50 as far as "identity" is concerned.

From UNT.edu

Read under "Eagle" and "Mean Green Moniker"

NT hasn't been the eagles in 10 years. But hey keep on cheering for the eagles........or is it the mean green.....I'm pretty sure Auburn doesn't cheer for the War Eagles.

Because what the heck is a Mean Green.

Then why have anything? Hell, if we weren't the Eagles, then why not put a freaking tiger or something on the uniforms? Did you not read the link from the UNT website or are you just being that hard headed tonight?

Your original point was to take "Eagles" out of any chant because that's not what we are called anymore. I was pointing out other schools have cheers that refer to things that aren't what their monikor is. Auburn was just an easy example.

So we might use a "Eagles" in a cheer. How is it any different for Auburn to use a "War Eagle" chant. Neither school is officially known by the other. Both are part of their school's identity. We'll forever identify with the Egle at NT. It dates back to the 1920's, and as I pointed out earlier is in the background of many NT things. Roads. Emails. Donors. Meeting rooms. Arguably the most iconic thing on our campus is the Eagle statue.

Give it up Courtland. You're arguing with gmg.com's most stubborn contrarian Daddy Douchealot.

      Auburn warns of potential ticket price hike ahead of revenue-sharing model

      So very true. I guess they use the same financial model as the WNBA. At least in "professional" sports they are salary control and caps. I am not faulting the players, but at some point, all sides are going to have to try and find a solution, or I don't see how many programs continue with football.

      24/25 MBB Attendance Tracker

      Third home game in a row under 3K in attendance and 4th for the season. Now at 2,947, average attendance is down almost 13% (439 per game) compared to the first 7 home games last year. We are now down 1,185 in average attendance compared to last season's full year average. The home conference slate kicks off with UAB on New Year's Eve. Hopefully, we will be able to chip away at this attendance deficit as some familiar foes visit the Super Pit, but it looks like hitting a 4K average and growing average attendance for the 3rd year in a row is becoming increasingly out of reach. Just win and they will come they said. SMH. On the bright side, we're currently sitting at 9-3 and 7-0 at home and own the 2nd best Net rating in the conference only behind Memphis. Unfortunately, the conference is incredibly weak this year so we don't have many opportunities to improve that ranking. Aside from winning on the road at Memphis, holding serve in terms of a Net rating may be the best we can do from here. Actually, looking at the schedule, we do have three Q2 road games (Wichita St, FAU and Temple). They need to keep winning and we will need to win those three to improve our resume.

      SMUt getting owned by State

      Tell me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf without telling me you’ll peddle BS on SMU’s behalf. Here is SMU’s attendance claim for this season; one so amazing that they made a nifty graphic for it. The only issue? Well, they played 7 home games and the stadium seats 32k…so an average attendance of 32,651 which is standing room only and beyond capacity is a bit difficult to swallow and leads one to believe that only believers in SMU math would buy it. And save me the “but look at North Texas’ attendance” garbage. Even someone as committed to being separated from reality as you knows that if North Texas 1) bought their way into the ACC to allow us to fill our stadium with opposing fans, 2) overpaid for players, and 3) had the easiest conference schedule possible to stack wins…Apogee would have been LEGITIMATELY sold out. And let me save you the trouble of the next silly argument you were just itching to type as a retort…yes, we have far more alumni, but we are not situated DEAD CENTER in a city of 1.3 Million people like SMU has been for decades
